“Can you name three of these "draconian new laws" passed in Australia?”
Errrm, just passed a TV where the ‘tickertape’ news said “Nationwide crackdown on social gatherings”. Borders have been closed. Overseas travel has been ‘banned’.
Have you been living under a rock?
Before this started, a criminal trial was held in complete secrecy in Canberra - in a country that claims to be governed by the rule of law. Journalists’ homes were raided as they had the temerity to try to discover and disclose the truth about the actions of members of the ADF. You now have to explain why you want to spend $10,000 or more in cash. The bureaucrats who think all these things are “good” for us will be licking their lips at the controls being put in place now.
